In downwinding, one's first completion of a world class downwinder is very unlikely to be spoiled by advance knowledge about the run. And of course, one of the great things about some [[:world_s_best_downwind|great downwind runs]] is how much they can vary with different conditions. | + | * **Beta Spray ** (Also from climbing) Unsolicited advice about how to do something (typically referring to technique - not safety advice) similar to "fun ruiner".

| - | "Water waves are **surface waves**, a mixture of longitudinal and transverse waves. Surface waves in oceanography are deformations of the sea surface. The deformations propagate with the wave speed, while the water molecules remain at the same positions on average. Energy, however, moves towards the shore (//with the wave//). Most ocean waves are produced by wind, and the energy from the wind offshore is carried by the waves towards the shore." | + | paraphrased |
